Userspace is allowed to select any PAGE_SIZE aligned hva to back guest
memory. This is even the case with hugepages, although it is a rather
suboptimal configuration as PTE level mappings are used at stage-2.
The arm64 page aging handlers have an assumption that the specified
range is exactly one page/block of memory, which in the aforementioned
case is not necessarily true. All together this leads to the WARN() in
kvm_age_gfn() firing.
However, the WARN is only part of the issue as the table walkers visit
at most a single leaf PTE. For hugepage-backed memory in a memslot that
isn't hugepage-aligned, page aging entirely misses accesses to the
hugepage beyond the first page in the memslot.
Add a new walker dedicated to handling page aging MMU notifiers capable
of walking a range of PTEs. Convert kvm(_test)_age_gfn() over to the new
walker and drop the WARN that caught the issue in the first place. The
implementation of this walker was inspired by the test_clear_young()
implementation by Yu Zhao [*], but repurposed to address a bug in the
existing aging implementation.

KVM/arm64 updates for 6.5
- Eager page splitting optimization for dirty logging, optionally
allowing for a VM to avoid the cost of block splitting in the stage-2
fault path.
- Arm FF-A proxy for pKVM, allowing a pKVM host to safely interact with
services that live in the Secure world. pKVM intervenes on FF-A calls
to guarantee the host doesn't misuse memory donated to the hyp or a
pKVM guest.
- Support for running the split hypervisor with VHE enabled, known as
'hVHE' mode. This is extremely useful for testing the split
hypervisor on VHE-only systems, and paves the way for new use cases
that depend on having two TTBRs available at EL2.
- Generalized framework for configurable ID registers from userspace.
KVM/arm64 currently prevents arbitrary CPU feature set configuration
from userspace, but the intent is to relax this limitation and allow
userspace to select a feature set consistent with the CPU.
- Enable the use of Branch Target Identification (FEAT_BTI) in the
hypervisor.
- Use a separate set of pointer authentication keys for the hypervisor
when running in protected mode, as the host is untrusted at runtime.
- Ensure timer IRQs are consistently released in the init failure
paths.
- Avoid trapping CTR_EL0 on systems with Enhanced Virtualization Traps
(FEAT_EVT), as it is a register commonly read from userspace.
- Erratum workaround for the upcoming AmpereOne part, which has broken
hardware A/D state management.
As a consequence of the hVHE series reworking the arm64 software
features framework, the for-next/module-alloc branch from the arm64 tree
comes along for the ride.

: - If manual protection is enabled for the VM, hugepage splitting
: happens in the KVM_CLEAR_DIRTY_LOG ioctl. This is desirable as it
: provides userspace granular control over hugepage splitting.
:
: - Otherwise, if userspace relies on the legacy dirty log behavior

: logging is enabled for a particular memslot.
:
: Support for eager page splitting requires explicit opt-in from
: userspace, which is realized through the

The preorder callback on the kvm_pgtable_stage2_map() path can replace
a table with a block, then recursively free the detached table. The
higher-level walking logic stashes the old page table entry and
then walks the freed table, invoking the leaf callback and
potentially freeing pgtable pages prematurely.
In normal operation, the call to tear down the detached stage-2
is indirected and uses an RCU callback to trigger the freeing.
RCU is not available to pKVM, which is where this bug is
triggered.
Change the behavior of the walker to reload the page table entry
after invoking the walker callback on preorder traversal, as it
does for leaf entries.

Until now, the page table walker counted increments to the PA and IPA
of a walk in two separate places. While the PA is incremented as soon as
a leaf PTE is installed in stage2_map_walker_try_leaf(), the IPA is
actually bumped in the generic table walker context. Critically,
__kvm_pgtable_visit() rereads the PTE after the LEAF callback returns
to work out if a table or leaf was installed, and only bumps the IPA for
a leaf PTE.
This arrangement worked fine when we handled faults behind the write lock,
as the walker had exclusive access to the stage-2 page tables. However,
commit 1577cb5823 ("KVM: arm64: Handle stage-2 faults in parallel")
started handling all stage-2 faults behind the read lock, opening up a
race where a walker could increment the PA but not the IPA of a walk.
Nothing good ensues, as the walker starts mapping with the incorrect
IPA -> PA relationship.
For example, assume that two vCPUs took a data abort on the same IPA.
One observes that dirty logging is disabled, and the other observed that
it is enabled:
vCPU attempting PMD mapping vCPU attempting PTE mapping
====================================== =====================================
/* install PMD */
stage2_make_pte(ctx, leaf);
data->phys += granule;
/* replace PMD with a table */
stage2_try_break_pte(ctx, data->mmu);
stage2_make_pte(ctx, table);
/* table is observed */
ctx.old = READ_ONCE(*ptep);
table = kvm_pte_table(ctx.old, level);
/*
* map walk continues w/o incrementing
* IPA.
*/
__kvm_pgtable_walk(..., level + 1);
Bring an end to the whole mess by using the IPA as the single source of
truth for how far along a walk has gotten. Work out the correct PA to
map by calculating the IPA offset from the beginning of the walk and add
that to the starting physical address.

The page table walkers are invoked outside fault handling paths, such as
write protecting a range of memory. EAGAIN is generally used by the
walkers to retry execution due to races on a particular PTE, like taking
an access fault on a PTE being invalidated from another thread.
This early return behavior is undesirable for walkers that operate
outside a fault handler. Suppress EAGAIN and continue the walk if
operating outside a fault handler.

Mapping pages in a guest page-table from within the pKVM hypervisor at
EL2 may require cache maintenance to ensure that the initialised page
contents is visible even to non-cacheable (e.g. MMU-off) accesses from
the guest.
In preparation for performing this maintenance at EL2, introduce a
per-vCPU fixmap which allows the pKVM hypervisor to map guest pages
temporarily into its stage-1 page-table for the purposes of cache
maintenance and, in future, poisoning on the reclaim path. The use of a
fixmap avoids the need for memory allocation or locking on the map()
path.

The break-before-make sequence is a bit annoying as it opens a window
wherein memory is unmapped from the guest. KVM should replace the PTE
as quickly as possible and avoid unnecessary work in between.
Presently, the stage-2 map walker tears down a removed table before
installing a block mapping when coalescing a table into a block. As the
removed table is no longer visible to hardware walkers after the
DSB+TLBI, it is possible to move the remaining cleanup to happen after
installing the new PTE.
Reshuffle the stage-2 map walker to install the new block entry in
the pre-order callback. Unwire all of the teardown logic and replace
it with a call to kvm_pgtable_stage2_free_removed() after fixing
the PTE. The post-order visitor is now completely unnecessary, so drop
it. Finally, touch up the comments to better represent the now
simplified map walker.
Note that the call to tear down the unlinked stage-2 is indirected
as a subsequent change will use an RCU callback to trigger tear down.
RCU is not available to pKVM, so there is a need to use different
implementations on pKVM and non-pKVM VMs.

Much of the stage-2 manipulation logic relies on being able to destroy
block mappings if e.g. installing a smaller mapping in the range. The
rationale for this behaviour is that stage-2 mappings can always be
re-created lazily. However, this gets more complicated when the stage-2
page-table is used to store metadata about the underlying pages. In such
cases, destroying a block mapping may lead to losing part of the state,
and confuse the user of those metadata (such as the hypervisor in nVHE
protected mode).
To avoid this, introduce a callback function in the pgtable struct which
is called during all map operations to determine whether the mappings
can use blocks, or should be forced to page granularity. This is used by
the hypervisor when creating the host stage-2 to force page-level
mappings when using non-default protection attributes.

The kvm_pgtable_stage2_find_range() function is used in the host memory
abort path to try and look for the largest block mapping that can be
used to map the faulting address. In order to do so, the function
currently walks the stage-2 page-table and looks for existing
incompatible mappings within the range of the largest possible block.
If incompatible mappings are found, it tries the same procedure again,
but using a smaller block range, and repeats until a matching range is
found (potentially up to page granularity). While this approach has
benefits (mostly in the fact that it proactively coalesces host stage-2
mappings), it can be slow if the ranges are fragmented, and it isn't
optimized to deal with CPUs faulting on the same IPA as all of them will
do all the work every time.
To avoid these issues, remove kvm_pgtable_stage2_find_range(), and walk
the page-table only once in the host_mem_abort() path to find the
closest leaf to the input address. With this, use the corresponding
range if it is invalid and not owned by another entity. If a valid leaf
is found, return -EAGAIN similar to what is done in the
kvm_pgtable_stage2_map() path to optimize concurrent faults.

As the host stage 2 will be identity mapped, all the .hyp memory regions
and/or memory pages donated to protected guestis will have to marked
invalid in the host stage 2 page-table. At the same time, the hypervisor
will need a way to track the ownership of each physical page to ensure
memory sharing or donation between entities (host, guests, hypervisor) is
legal.
In order to enable this tracking at EL2, let's use the host stage 2
page-table itself. The idea is to use the top bits of invalid mappings
to store the unique identifier of the page owner. The page-table owner
(the host) gets identifier 0 such that, at boot time, it owns the entire
IPA space as the pgd starts zeroed.
Provide kvm_pgtable_stage2_set_owner() which allows to modify the
ownership of pages in the host stage 2. It re-uses most of the map()
logic, but ends up creating invalid mappings instead. This impacts

When memory protection is enabled, the EL2 code needs the ability to
create and manage its own page-table. To do so, introduce a new set of
hypercalls to bootstrap a memory management system at EL2.
This leads to the following boot flow in nVHE Protected mode:
1. the host allocates memory for the hypervisor very early on, using
the memblock API;
2. the host creates a set of stage 1 page-table for EL2, installs the
EL2 vectors, and issues the __pkvm_init hypercall;
3. during __pkvm_init, the hypervisor re-creates its stage 1 page-table
and stores it in the memory pool provided by the host;
4. the hypervisor then extends its stage 1 mappings to include a
vmemmap in the EL2 VA space, hence allowing to use the buddy
allocator introduced in a previous patch;
5. the hypervisor jumps back in the idmap page, switches from the
host-provided page-table to the new one, and wraps up its
initialization by enabling the new allocator, before returning to
the host.
6. the host can free the now unused page-table created for EL2, and
will now need to issue hypercalls to make changes to the EL2 stage 1
mappings instead of modifying them directly.
Note that for the sake of simplifying the review, this patch focuses on
the hypervisor side of things. In other words, this only implements the
new hypercalls, but does not make use of them from the host yet. The
host-side changes will follow in a subsequent patch.

(1) During running time of a a VM with numbers of vCPUs, if some vCPUs
access the same GPA almost at the same time and the stage-2 mapping of
the GPA has not been built yet, as a result they will all cause
translation faults. The first vCPU builds the mapping, and the followed
ones end up updating the valid leaf PTE. Note that these vCPUs might
want different access permissions (RO, RW, RX, RWX, etc.).
(2) It's inevitable that we sometimes will update an existing valid leaf
PTE in the map path, and we perform break-before-make in this case.
Then more unnecessary translation faults could be caused if the
*break stage* of BBM is just catched by other vCPUS.
With (1) and (2), something unsatisfactory could happen: vCPU A causes
a translation fault and builds the mapping with RW permissions, vCPU B
then update the valid leaf PTE with break-before-make and permissions
are updated back to RO. Besides, *break stage* of BBM may trigger more
translation faults. Finally, some useless small loops could occur.
We can make some optimization to solve above problems: When we need to
update a valid leaf PTE in the map path, let's filter out the case where
this update only change access permissions, and don't update the valid
leaf PTE here in this case. Instead, let the vCPU enter back the guest
and it will exit next time to go through the relax_perms path without
break-before-make if it still wants more permissions.
